why boys dont have all those painful problems like girls have in puberty?

Question

I barely had any headache since I started my puberty, while my little sister keeps having headaches every month. she also moans a lot when she gets cramps. I never got any cramps, my other male friends also didnt. only girls have this problems, but not boys. its not fair. not to mention pms. my sister almost killed me while she had pms. boys never get so wild cause of something like pms. and embarrassing erection that boys get I dont count cause its too easy to hide. so boys are enjoying their lives, while girls are suffering. its not fair that girls have all those cramps every month, while boys dont have anything. boys are only worrying about penis size and thats it, while girls have to go through all those problems with uterus.

and getting kicked in the balls doesnt counts, cause its hurts girls to get hit in the breasts, so we are the same on this one.

even shaving 'down there'. girls are askin in womens health that it itches and it burns after shaving, but I am shavng 'down there' for years and I NEVER have any problems, nothing, no pain, no itch. I also read about itching 'down there' that is unbearable, but I was never itchy 'down there'. then sister takes some pills to ease the pain, but they dont even help always and they are also risky for her health. its not fair. I dont take any kind of pills for some pain, not even my friends, but girls do. its not fair. if one gender is in pain, then another gender should also be in pain. I really like when boys are suffering. its not fair that only girls gets this problems, while boys dont have anything, except worrying about penis size (this is completely true, dont deny).

so when will the feminists develop some medicine that will cause cramps to boys every month? my little sister keeps going to different doctors, but she is still in pain. its not fair. I only went to the doctor because my finger got stuck in a mouse trap and thats the only pain I ever had in my puberty.

is it normal that one gender has to suffer pms? look at what girls are going through: abdominal bloating, stress or anxiety, depression, crying spells, mood swings, irritability or anger, appetite changes and food cravings, trouble falling asleep (insomnia), joint or muscle pain, headache, fatigue (medical), acne, trouble concentrating, social withdrawal, body temperature increase. is it normal that girls have all this while boys dont? I never cried or depressed just like that. I cried when a neighbour died, not because my body was wild. PAIN TO THE BOYS!!!! I like when I'm in pain, otherwise I'm ashamed of myself cause my little sister is always in pain but not me.

and no one ever told me to get on a pelvic exam, while my little sister keeps getting those broshures about gynaecologists.

that's the way God made us....and we should be appreciative dat were even alive

Answer 2

You partner isn't circumcised, has no problems with hygiene, and has never had any problems down there. That alone says something. Most guys in the world (70-80%) aren't circumcised, and the vast majority of them never have any problems. Yeah, you'll hear about uncircumcised boys getting infections, but those are anecdotal. Very few uncircumcised boys (like less than 5%) ever develop problems down there as long as they maintain good hygiene. And hygiene of the foreskin and penis is really very easy and very quick (see link 1). Also, everyone should realize that circumcision is a surgical procedure with its own risks and complications. You may hear a lot of anecdotes of infections of the foreskin, but you don't hear many anecdotes about things that went wrong. Well, the probability of something going wrong during circumcision is about the same as the probability of him getting an infection anyway. See links 2-4 for the potential risks and complications that people almost never talk about. Also, the foreskin has a lot of nerve endings that could contribute to sexual sensitivity (links 5, 6). Also, some studies suggest that the foreskin may be beneficial to the sexual satisfaction/pleasure of not only the man, but the woman as well (links 7, 8, 9). So as long as nothing's physically wrong with the foreskin (which is rare), one maintains proper hygiene of the foreskin (which is quick and easy), and one practices safe sex (which one should when the time comes), there's probably no benefit of circumcision. Use your partner as a "model." He's never had any problems with hygiene or otherwise, why suspect your son might? Your partner will know what to do and how to handle it. Trust him on this. And again, on another note, it's your son's penis and it should probably be his choice. If something bad happens to the foreskin or he wants it removed later, he can do so of his choice. But, if something bad happens during the circumcision or he doesn't like being circumcised later, he's pretty much stuck with it the rest of his life. Look at the remaining links for more info that may help you with your decision. I hope you make the best decision between you and your partner, whatever you decide.

It's representative of the complexity (and 'value') of the Female body compared to the mens. Us guys are physically 'very' simple in comparision to Females.

You cannot be a guy if you reckon getting kicked in the balls is the same as an equiv. blow to the breasts. I mean if you even flick them in the wrong spot it is like being hit with a hammer, wheras all the breasts I've run into like being man-handled :)

Puberty does seem unfair but guys also have to learn to handle the effects of testosterone - nonstop lusting after Women (basically developing a new external need, is actualy a serious and confronting issue that can be unhealthy distracting or cause violence through insecurity about it).

Answer 4

Gordon, think about the good news. We don't suffer our cramps all year round; some of us have our monthly cramps in varying fashions and it's unbearable at times, yet we manage. It's just something that we go through. Labor to give birth only means our uterus is working hard to push out the baby; it's as natural as can be, a wonderful part of life. Now let's get on to you, being a boy there are somethings that you go through that us women could never begin to understand, such as illnesses meant for men only. I can't think of one now, oh perhaps penis cancer. Just keep in mind it all works out in the end.
Sorry about that thing about your sis when she was pmsing. Sometimes it's a good idea to make yourself scarce when women go through their thing, cause in cases like that the slightest thing can upset them.
Here's a bit of something that may help your sister and her cramps. It's actually a way to prevent them

Answer 5

Your empathy regarding your sister is very sweet! But there really isn't anything really that doctors can do (short of a hysterectomy) that can stop a woman from having menstrual cramps. Some doctors will prescribe low-dose birth control pills, intended for the effects of regulating a woman's period (it can shorten the length of periods that are normally quite long and/or heavy.) The uterus must contract in order for the blood to flow..without that, the blood would collect in the uterus and trapped there it would become toxic and fatal. The contractions push the blood out of the uterus, and this is nature's best method for doing so. Incidentally, it is the same method that pushes a baby out into the birth canal when a baby is being born. Menstrual cramps can be quite intense, and can vary in intensity from woman to woman. Some women don't feel them at all (their lucky!)- and others, like me (and your sister) have quite debilitating (at times) pain. There are pain medications, but truthfully, a woman really shouldn't use these if she can help it. Narcotics are devastatingly addictive, bad for your health. Ibuprofen is o.k. to use, but it really isn't all that effective. Women who experience intense pain (and intense mood swings) can lessen it somewhat by eating nutritious foods, AVOIDING CAFFEINE, watching their sugar intake, getting adequate exercise (yes, even during their period!), and getting a good night's sleep. It's a temporary thing, and it will pass.

EDIT: Patois: that's priceless!!!! lol!

Answer 6

OK, very nice to see you have concern for your sis and women in general, but with that "I like it when men feel pain too" you ARE taking it just a wee-bit into the pathological side.

Here, let me bring up a couple of points:

1) Yes, men don't deal with crap such as pms, menstruation, and painful childbirth DIRECTLY, but we sure as hell deal with it indirectly by being the ones women lean on in their times of vulnerability. Put in plain language, we men must very often be strong for the both of us (and then pretend that this is not the case)! If you think handling your sister with pms was difficult imagine your future girlfriend or wife, and pms is child's play compared to all the other stuff!

2) OK, balls vs. breasts? Seriously, no competition. Testicles are VERY sensitive and serious injury can cause sterility. Even a slightly stronger TAP on the testicles is painful and the pain from a blow is NOT "natural" pain, it's "that blow might have caused some permanent damage" pain.

3) Men are perfectly capable of handling pain. The counterstatement is a misandrist MYTH! Guess who in the olden days had to go and die or get seriously injured in wars? In fact, men err very much on the side of TOLERATING pain and getting used to it, instead of seeing their doctor about it!

Here, let me give you an example. I am one of the "lucky" few men that occasionally has MIGRAINES. In case you don't know what it is, migraines are an intense throbbing headache, usually localized on one side of the head accompanied with nausea, vomitting and sensitivity to sound and bright light. Not fun at all, but guess what, you have no choice but to manage! A few years before I started to have them my (now x) gf complained about how her mom has them and when I asked about it she explained and told me "yeah, for the most part only women have them, the few men that have them bang their heads against the wall".

Um... yeah right!

Answer 7

Well really. I wouldn't want to inflict what us women go through onto men, just for it to be fair. That's not right.
Anyway, that's just part of being female, you get periods, cramps, pregnancy and childbirth and all the rest and you just learn to deal with it.
I used to get terrible cramps that would leave me doubled up. But that's nothing compared to childbirth(which I've gone through three times). Like I said, pain is part of life and you just deal with it.

But if your sister is having such a problem with cramps, then some painkillers and a hotwater bottle on her lower belly will help.

Answer 8

I remember the day we landed on the moon the first time. What a moment that was. The living room was full of people watching the event on television. Armstrong had just said his famous words and there were tears in people's eyes. It was shocking that we HUMANS had risen in intellect and mission to be able to leave this planet and go forth into space! In that moment of shocked silence, my mother, knitting quietly in her chair, snorted a little and said, "Yadda yadda yadda. If we can land a man on the moon, why can't we get rid of menstrual cramps?" Never wiser words spoken. : )

Answer 9

Girls are made to have offspring.So the body has to go through changes.Year after year after year.This includes emotional,mental,physical etc.Not much fun either.

Answer 10

It just proves that women are stronger than men. Men get a bit of a cold and they make like the pain is unbearable. Just let a man have a baby, pms, periods, and whatever pain you can think of and they fall apart at the seams. My opinion is women are the stronger sex.

Answer 11

Boys can be embarrassed about puberty's first stages just like any girl. Yes, getting hit in the balls does hurt a guy!
